Roadside Parking:

Look at the condition of shoulders and ditchlines. "Bootleg
parking places" develop where motorists stop their cars to photograph
a herd of elk or a mountain reflected on the lake, or just
to fish. You must decide whether to pave it (and make it legal) or
to barricade it for reasons of safety. Be especially careful that
sight distance is adequate if you let it stay!
